The only roses that can be planted safely in the fall are the 
hardiest kinds, rugosa and its hybrids; all others should bed eferred 
till the spring. If procured now, heel them in a frost-proof cellar 
to plant next year.

or trees that do not flower on the terminal.

Prepare for new lawns now even if you do not seed until later. Buy and 
4 IV. EVERGREENS heel in shrubbery too 
Only in the South may coniferous evergreens be handled in any way during 
fall and winter; broad-leaved evergreens are risky, except in the warmer regions 
and even then should have their leaves stripped off. 
Exception: Rhododendron maximum is sometimes successfully planted in the fall if given winter pro- 
tection from sun and a supply of moisture. 
Vem IN  Dibs ERUIGE GARDEN 
Plant everything but the stone fruits, even including strawberries. Procure 
stock from your own latitude or north of it rather than go far south, unless the 
fall is long and warm. Strawberries, even layer plants, can be lifted into beds the 
early part of October and will fruit next spring under high cultivation. Surely 
set out those named below: 
GoosEBERRIES, CURRANTS, GRAPE VINES, RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES.

' VIII. BULBS FOR SPRING FLOWERS 
These must be planted in the fall and at no other time. Buy your supply of 
- Dutch bulbs as soon as possible and plant immediately upon receipt. The earlier 
they are in the ground the better the roots they will make. Hyacinths will not 
‘ endure frost. 
Only plant rugosa roses at The old-fashioned lilac can 
this time be transplanted now
